First Place in Open, Judge: Anna Duxbury (Ridgebow)
I would very much like to thank the officers and committee for offering me this appointment, and for their excellent hospitality. Thanks also to the ring steward/show secretary who kept things running smoothly. Mostly, of course, I would like to thank all the exhibitors for allowing me not only the privilege of going over their dogs and their sporting acceptance of my decisions but also their patience whilst waiting for our ring to become free! Temperaments on the day were excellent; coats were quite varied. I found no dogs with incorrect bites and all male dogs were entire.
Very attractive bitch, super head, with varminty expression. Short strong muzzle with big teeth. Excellent coat and pelt. Very good length of rib, topline and good thick tail well set on. Easy to span, lovely proportions all round and moved with good stride and purpose. A small and feminine but strong bitch, not overdone and just my type. Glad to see she took TG2 later in the day.
